LOL. I'm not sure I would hear the difference between an air and kiln dried wood base, but I do know my system is resolving enough that I heard I heard a pretty big difference between a HRS ADH 850 gr record stainless clamp (which has a rubber compound base) and the new Monarch Systems Ultra Carbon 1000 gr clamp (that is all stainless and carbon fiber). I was skeptical at first it would make much difference, but surprised how better the latter is (so I bought it).
